Joe Gibbs Racing announced Wednesday morning that the Stanley security provider brand and DeWalt power tools will join the organization as primary sponsors for drivers Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth in 2015, respectively.
Stanley, which has been a primary sponsor of Marcos Ambrose at Richard Petty Motorsports since 2011, will be the primary sponsor for 12 races on Edwards' No. 19 Toyota, while DeWalt will be the primary sponsor for six races on Kenseth's No. 20 Toyota.
In addition, Stanley will have associate branding on Kyle Busch's No. 18 Toyota throughout the 2015 season, as well as on the No. 19 and No. 20 cars when not already serving as the primary sponsor. Other Stanley Black & Decker brands, including Mac Tools and BLACK+DECKER, will continue to be part of JGR's NASCAR program.
"We are thrilled to announce a new partnership for Joe Gibbs Racing with both Stanley and DeWalt," said team owner and founder Joe Gibbs. "They have a great history in our sport. We've had a partnership with Mac Tools that dates back to our first days here at JGR. It's an honor that they chose to come on board and support both Carl and Matt."
Kenseth has a long history with DeWalt, having carried the sponsor to his first Sprint Cup victory in the 2000 Coca-Cola 600 with Roush Fenway Racing. DeWalt was also Kenseth's primary sponsor in 2003, when he won his first and only championship with Roush Fenway.
Kenseth joined Joe Gibbs Racing for the 2013 season, finishing second in the standings and winning seven races. Edwards, a former teammate of Kenseth's at Roush Fenway, is leaving Roush at the end of this season to join JGR. Both drivers are among the 16 participants in this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"It is a special feeling to have the opportunity to partner with DeWalt again," Kenseth said. "I have so many tremendous memories with them, and I'm looking forward to representing their brand again and creating new memories."
